EVERY SINGLE DAY (Lyrics)

Every single day, in so many ways we can get better.
Every single day, in so many ways we can get better.

Communicate, delegate, educate, learn to relate

Dedicate, investigate, clean your plate, don’t be late,

Desegregate, invigorate, tell it straight, close the gate

Alliterate, make it great, stop the hate, help your mate

ChorusEvery single day, in so many ways we can get better.
Every single day, in so many ways we can get better.

Idealise, visualise, prioritise and compromise

Secularise, democratise, don’t moralise, learn to be wise

Eat for size, exercise, stoke your fires, reach the skies

Eulogise, characterise, laugh at liars, greet the sunrise

Chorus Solo Breakdown

Play football, stand up real tall, take the fall, try it all

Fix your mess, add something fresh, tone your flesh, start afresh

Activate don’t procrastinate, isolate or be a deadweight

Don’t look skin-deep, you’ll miss a heap, take a leap, land on your feet!

Localise, energise, economise, enough’s enoughise

Take the test, reach the crest, don’t distress, do your best

Validate, elucidate, meditate and make it great

Chop chop wood and carry water, live your life the way you aughta

About Every Single Day.

This song encapsulates one of the core beliefs at iKi : - that the key to living productive and rewarding lives is in choosing behaviours that lead to positive, life affirming outcomes for our families, our communities and ourselves.

Each week we release a blog based around one of the words in the song – musings on an idea or an activity that can help brighten our own lives and the lives of those around us.

Through all of history, parents have shared the common goal for their children to have happier, healthier, more productive lives than they did.

We all know there are challenges to that desire, but at iKi we believe there are many practical ways we can strive to keep the dream alive.

Read on, and we hope you will agree that “Every single day in so many ways we can be better” It’s a matter of attitude, practise and action.

Communicate.

No matter how old we are, there are some things we remember clearly from our younger years, while others are a blur.

One occasion I remember clearly was sitting in a potato paddock having a break and discussing the world with a couple of mates. We were about 14 years old at the time. I recall we agreed that the world would be a much better place “if we could just communicate”.

But even in our early teens – when we knew we knew so much - we understood that was no simple thing. There are so MANY things to disagree about - with 40 different words for snow, 600 models of cars, multiple life choices, not to even begin to mention politics and religion. We were the same age and gender, from the same small town, with similar interests, speaking the same language - and we still disagreed on lots of things.

We agreed there was ample room for misunderstandings to arise in the real world. Remember, this was before smart phones, thousands of TV channels and the myriad other new distractions demanding our attention, our opinion, our time and money. The risk of being misunderstood, misheard or mistaken is so vast it’s a wonder we agree on anything.

So, with this in mind, this week (and all weeks hereafter) take extra care when communicating. Let’s be clearer when we text. Follow up emails with a call to be sure it’s understood. When interacting face to face, be mindful of our body language and our tone of voice, Take time to listen to the other persons’ point of view.

Take a little more care and save a mess of stress by making sure we’re on the same page. After all, we’re all in the same story.

Clear communication is easier when we are healthy and relaxed-- so make some time to energise yourself. Do an energiser now. Take a quick walk around, do a stretch. Go outside and breathe. Your head will be clearer and you’ll see a brighter world. One where we understand each other better, because we take care to communicate more clearly.

How do we teach our students, our own children to this valuable life lesson? iKi SRL helps us communicate clearly. The Rulz make it so much easier for us to understand and agree on what is appropriate behaviour and fair consequences in all contexts.
